MUSIC

Does music play a role in influencing the subconscious mind?

The answer is yes and here are some of the ways it intertwines:

Emotional Triggering and Memory

Brainwave Entrainment

Subconscious Reprogramming

Stress Relief and Healing

Symbolism of the Unconscious

Music acts as a symbolic language of the subconscious mind,  It helps bring thoughts to one's awareness.  Your brain processes musical patterns differently than verbal information. Music activates multiple regions in the brain.  The brain states are influenced by frequency and music is frequency.  When you listen to music with specific frequency patterns your brain shifts to match those frequencies which is a way to reprogram the subconscious.

Music tuned to 432Hz is believed by many to resonate deeply with the human body and subconscious mind. 432Hz music is the “Verdi Tuning”  Most music is tuned to 440Hz, 432 Hz is an alternative to that. This shows mathematical significance that 432Hz is aligned with the sacred geometry of the universe and natural vibrations, specifically the golden ratio.

Another benefit is listening to music while meditating.  It helps to communicate with the subconscious mind.  Using music with mindfulness practices can be beneficial for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and many other mental health conditions.  Research has shown that music can actually change activity in brain structure that is directly related to emotion.

I feel that music is very important in this way.  It can literally affect a person in so many ways. Depending on the type of music being listened to, it can calm your mind, it can energize and wake you up.  It can uplift you and make you feel good or it can bring you down and possibly make you cry. It can numb you or bring you to an extreme point of rage.  And those are only a few examples of how powerful it can be.  I listen to music a lot and appreciate it and definitely feel as if it is good for the soul.  It is the dance that echoes the song of the universe.

Ayahuasca

An ayahuasca retreat is often described as a setting where the usual “filters” of the mind loosen, which changes how the subconscious (the part of the mind holding automatic patterns, memories, and emotions) interacts with conscious awareness.

What happens to the subconscious:

• Reduced mental filtering: Brain networks that normally keep thoughts organized and controlled become less dominant. This can let buried memories, emotions, or symbolic imagery rise into awareness more freely.

• Heightened emotional access: Feelings tied to past experiences—sometimes very old ones—can surface with unusual intensity, making them easier to confront directly.

• Symbolic processing: The mind often communicates in vivid imagery or narratives (visions), which some interpret as the subconscious expressing itself in a more visual, story-like way.

• Disruption of habits: Rigid thought loops (like negative self-talk) may temporarily loosen, giving space to see them from a different perspective.

Potential benefits people report:

• Emotional release: Letting out suppressed feelings can feel relieving or clarifying.

• New insights: People often describe seeing personal problems, relationships, or life patterns in a different light.

• Reduced symptoms: Some studies suggest possible improvement in conditions like depression or anxiety, though research is still developing.

• Sense of meaning or connection: Many report a stronger sense of purpose, spirituality, or connection to others.

Important reality check: This isn’t universally positive. The same “opening” of the subconscious can also bring up fear, confusion, or overwhelming memories. Without proper support and integration afterward, insights may not translate into lasting change. There are also medical and psychological risks, especially for people with certain conditions or those taking specific medications.

So, ayahuasca doesn’t “fix” the subconscious—it temporarily makes it more accessible and flexible. What comes out of that depends a lot on the person, the setting, and what they do with the experience afterward.

This all might sound very intimidating but I will add a link below of an actual retreat that is highly recommended and is at a facility with medical staff. So along with the spiritual setting it is accompanied with an extra layer of security. Click below to learn more.

The Shadow

The brighter the light the deeper the shadow

• ― Jay Kristoff, Nevernight

And what is a shadow, what does it mean?

The actual definition is: A dark area on a surface where a light from a light source is blocked by an object in contrast.

It can also be used in reference to proximity, oppressiveness, or and gloom.

Carl Jung defined the shadow as the unconscious part of our personality holding repressed, primitive, or rejected traits.

In my research I think Carl Jung should be accredited for this concept and the truest analysis  of the shadow

The shadow also symbolizes the hidden parts we do not see as they now hide inside of the  subconscious.  Our fears, imperfections and inhibited passions.  And this is not limited to bad or good.  The shadow is simply a part of one's self that for some reason was suppressed and was not able to take form.  It hides inside darkness trying to find the light.  The hidden key that holds the answer to open up the door to our. . .

(Previously on LOST:  We covered that the subconscious mind controls 95% and the conscious mind controls 5% which is separated by the critical factor or the more technological name Critical Faculty.   This is the barrier that stands in the way of true understanding. It blocks us from our own awareness of actually knowing who we are.)

 Subconscious mind and the Shadow

I believe that is the core to get through as it delves into all of the aspects that have been accrued  in a lifetime.  It's looking at beliefs, fears, accomplishments, childhood memories and oh so much more. If the shadow stays in the darkness the light can never shine.
